One of the first and most beautiful examples of nadolu mosque architecture, Isa Bey Mosque was built by Isa Bey from Aydinogullari in Ayasuluk Hill between 1374-1375. You enter the mosque through a magnificent crown gate. There are various tombstones belonging to the Beyliks Period in the garden. The west wall of the mosque is covered with marble and the other facades are made of cut stone.

The cut stone blocks removed from the Temple of Artemis were used in the construction of the mosque. Although rich decorations and tiles are quite plain compared to Ottoman mosques. The UNESCO-listed mosque was also used as a caravanserai in the 19th century.
